“Lesley went in to defend his sister's honor and he got shot and killed,” Chitwood said at the scene Tuesday morning.

After interviewing several witnesses most of the day Tuesday, detectives said they now have a suspect but declined to name the individual because they are looking for him.

No suspect has been found, however, in the homicide of a 23-year-old man shot on Verdell Street on Saturday night, about a mile from South Keech. Rayshard Mitchell's family said he was on his way to dinner when he was shot and left face down in front of a cousin's residence.

In Tuesday's incident, Chitwood said Bouie went to the house on South Keech after his sister Debra Bouie arrived at his home and told him she had been beaten up there moments earlier. Police would not say why Debra Bouie was at the South Keech house at that early hour.

The siblings then walked back to 213 S. Keech and Lesley Bouie got into a fight with someone inside that residence, Chitwood said. Lesley Bouie — who also lived on South Keech about a block away — was then shot once in the chest. His body was found in the carport of the house.

Chitwood said the residence, owned by Craig Carter, is a “problem house” because police have gone there frequently for drugs and other offenses.

“We have served several search warrants in that house,” Chitwood said.

Neighbors agreed, saying the house is nothing but a nuisance. Most of the properties along that stretch of South Keech are small, neat and well-kept, their owners working-class families.

Community activist Marjorie Johnson, who lives just a few houses north of Carter's residence on South Keech, said the house was left to Carter by his mother, Julia Carter.

“She was a church-going woman and she would roll over in her grave if she knew a killing had gone on in her house,” Johnson said.

Investigators said all the people involved in the episode at the house early Tuesday know each other. Both Bouie siblings and Carter have criminal records.

However, several relatives who gathered at the shooting scene also said Lesley Bouie was a “wonderful man who would do anything for anyone.”

Most of the accolades came from Lesley Bouie's ex-wife Toni Doston and Doston's twin sister, Tonette Collins. The two women praised Lesley Bouie for his kindness.

“He was an awesome person,” Doston said. “He was very, very loved by both sides of the family.”

Tonette Collins said that when her mother learned of Lesley Bouie's death, the mother said she had “lost a son.”

Michael Mosely, a first cousin of the Bouie siblings, said Lesley Bouie got killed while doing something he was known for — helping someone else.

But Bouie also had his problems, court records show, having been arrested several times over the years for various misdemeanor offenses.

Doston said she had warned her ex-husband “to stay off the streets.”

“That's the life he chose,” she said, shaking her head. “But I will always love him.”

Rayshard Mitchell, the young man killed on Saturday night, also had a criminal past but his mother and grandmother said he was a “good-hearted person.”

Mitchell was shot in the stomach just before 7 p.m. in the 600 block of Verdell, a police report shows.

He told his grandmother Georgia Cord that he was going out to dinner that evening. But 20 minutes later he was found face-down on the street in front of a cousin's home, police said.

Mitchell's cellphone was found next to him on the street and it rang just minutes after he was shot, said Trent Cooks, the person who found him. Cooks said it was a woman named “Cassandra” who wanted to know where Mitchell was.
